Currently John Knox Village features 7 individual dining outlets spread out over the 400 acres of residential property each with a unique menu and style of service.   Fireside is a cafeteria, Lakeside Grille is a quick service restaurant, Courtyard Café, Places Restaurant, and the newest, Stories Public House and Metropolitan are full service restaurants, and then there’s the Coffee Shoppe.  Each outlet is at least a mix scratch restaurant.  Courtyard Café, Places, Stories Pub, and Metropolitan are 70 to 99% scratch made-to-order kitchens.  Lakeside has some cook-to-order and some batch cooking for the meal period. Fireside is mostly batch cooking.  All kitchens utilize prep and line cooks under the tutelage and leadership of a chef.  Check averages range from $6.50 at Fireside to $20.00 at Metropolitan.  All outlets feature flexible hours, full- and part-time positions.  All full-time positions are benefit-eligible to include up to 5 weeks of PTO for the year.  Each outlet has different hours of operations, the earliest starts service at 7am and the latest closing time is 8pm, so say goodbye to getting off work at 2am from a typical restaurant.  Servers working the full-service restaurant earn a higher wage than a typical server in the retail world plus earn gratuities as well.
